\"FallFall Yellow-rumped Warbler close to home \u2013 Nikon D500, f7.1, 1\/1000, ISO 500, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

This has been a weird fall so far and because of that I haven’t been out to look for urban birds like this Yellow-rumped Warbler I photographed last year close to home. Yellow-rumped Warblers can be found later in the fall than some other warbler species and it still isn’t too late to find them. If the weather forecast for the next week wasn’t expected to be dreary, windy, cloudy, and possibly wet I would be out looking for them.<\/p>\n

Yellow-rumped Warblers can easily switch from eating a diet consisting of insects to eating berries which is why they can migrate later in the fall than warblers that primarily eat insects.<\/p>\n

The afternoon that I photographed this migrating Yellow-rumped Warbler they were practically dripping from the trees close to where I live in Salt Lake County<\/span><\/a>. There were so many of these warblers that it was tough to decide on which bird to have in my viewfinder.<\/p>\n

Some of the Yellow-rumped Warblers exhibited defensive behavior when other birds flew in close to them. That was what happened when I took this photo.<\/p>\n

In the fall Yellow-rumped Warbler adults aren’t as colorful as they are in the spring. This individual seemed rather pale to me because they were in their nonbreeding plumage.<\/p>\n

I enjoy photographing the urban birds I find close to where I live in the city because I don’t have to go far to find them plus I can be home and uploading my images to view on my large monitor within in a matter of minutes.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
